The Day Is Getting Better & Better - Maybe Not

I was hoping that the day would turn but then I got a call from my daughter's school to come and get her. Now she is home sick with a fever. Maybe I can get out of the house for a little bit without loosing my mind. TOO LATE

Valentine's Day Stinks

Where to begin...HUMMM....The new dog my husband bought on Saturday that pucked all night.... the solid slippery ice slab which is my driveway......my son slipping on the ice twice..... my van getting slipping on the ice, sliding off the driveway, then getting stuck in the snow.......Happy Valentine's Day.
Hopefully the rest of the day and week will be better. As a bonus, I am have a Heart Day sale on Etsy under OLIVEYOUVINTAGE. Just email me XOXO and get 50% anything. Just trying to spread the love.

Slap My Hand

I didn't get to post yesterday. I spent all yesterday at my husband's office working the front desk. It was the first time in over nine years that I have 'worked' in that type of setting. I enjoyed it for the fact that is wasn't watching the kids at home all day like me usual repetative day. After they showed me where the baseball bat, shotgun, and hand gun were and told me to 'just point and shoot' I was a little on edge. Their business isn't located in the nicest neighborhood and they were robbed last year. My day went without a hitch - no armed robbery for me - but it gave me more respect for my husband and what he goes through in a day.
Anyway my business was on hold for a day but I am back to listing. I found some spring dresses that I never got around to listing last year and decided to list them. Here is my favorite -
a LEMON CHIFFON DREAM

Meet BUNNY

Well the kids were home again all day with another snow day. My car was covered with a thick layer of ice. But neither of those things stopped me from thrifting ---- that might mean I have a problem. I just couldn't stay in the house one more minute. We all felt trapped and needed to get out. Plus I didn't want to make dinner.
So out we went. My favorite thrift had their huge sale today but because of the weather hadn't been picked over. I got some pottery (which I don't usually buy) that I will show tomorrow. For tonight I will show my newest unique item.
Is is a bunny,
is it is a doll,
is it a bag,
hopefully it won't come to life an kill us tonight.




This fluffy pink rubber faced doll has a large opening on the back with a metal zippered opening. I found something like it elsewhere and they said it was a 'bed doll' where you stored your pajamas until the night.

Two Days In a Row - That Should Be A Record

Put two notches on your computer screen, I have posted two days in a row. I just need to keep some time just for me to do this. With three kids home all day for a snow day, I should get a round of applause, too. Just cross your fingers that they have school tomorrow.
Wednesday is my weekly thrifting day. I usually hit two to three thrifts that day. But if all the kids are home tomorrow, A Thrifting I WON'T Go.
Today I took photos all morning and listed all afternoon. I am going to spend the rest of the evening packaging. With Ebay and Etsy, my life is full.
This weeks featured item is this fabulous vintage 80's draped harem one piece jumpsuit. I have never seen one with capri like pants.
